ABOUT
BlueDragon IPS
The BlueDragon Integrated Problem-solving System is a lean, agile, scalable and efficient methodology for solving human-centric problems; problems that cannot be solved by math and science alone.
IPS was developed in the last decade to take into account modern, socio-technical work environments, which traditional problem-solving methods do not.
What is BlueDragon IPS?
The Problem
Today’s businesses and organizations are losing trillions of dollars while using outdated Root Cause Analysis and other systems to tackle today’s complex challenges.

There is no better way to build a resilient team or advance your career in today’s working environments than with a cutting edge BlueDragon Certification.

Our Framework
The BlueDragon Integrated Problem-solving System is a state-of-the-art approach for solving human-centric problems that takes into account the complexities of modern, socio-technical working environments.
BlueDragon IPS moves beyond other traditional and dated methods of Root Cause Analysis.
Benefits of BlueDragon IPS
The BlueDragon IPS template replaces many RCA tools by seamlessly integrating traditional approaches that have been done separately. It can replace the fishbone, 5-whys, events and causal factors charts, barrier analysis, task analysis, change analysis, and comparative timeline analysis—and integrate all that information into a single analysis.
BlueDragon IPS helps businesses determine what’s actually causing problems without relying on conjecture, prevent repetitive waste and reduce corrective action backlogs, and put money back into building business value instead of wasting it on repairing past actions.
The BlueDragon Framework is the architecture for a scalable methodology that identifies the deepest-seated causes of human-centric problems in modern, socio-technical work environments with amazing speed and accuracy.
The IPS Framework Combines:
- Critical Thinking
- Analysis of Defenses (Barrier Analysis)
- Data Analysis
- Comparative Timeline Analysis
- Task & Change Analysis
- Human Performance Evaluations
- Themes from Anatomy of an Event
- Bones from the Fishbone (Ishikawa)
- Lines of Inquiry
- Socratic Questioning
- Cause and Effect Analysis
- Common Cause Analysis
- Why Staircases
- Events & Causal Factors Charts
